I think you are at Melton Jackie so you have missed it.Near enough at noon there was two God Almighty explosions and it seems that the Immingham Power Station has gone wrong some whereThere is a very dense cloud of smoke over that way No real info as yet but David Simon and Brian work close by.I am eagerly awaiting to hear if its the Biomass Unit.Will report when I find out.Had another call the oil refinery has had a explosion its across the field from Jackie's still none the wiser.It has not been on Radio Humberside yet ??? :farmer:

Not unexpected with this hot dry weather though.  :(

OMG!! If it is bio then my animals will be affected!!!!!

Please let me know as soon as you know George.

Wow, hope everything is put o ut soon and not much damage or harm. We are near an oil refinery and power station here too, we get most of our trade via them so hope nothing happens!!!! mind you, we have loads of dust at the moment, may be to do with 2 blocks of flats they pulled down on Sunday around 4 miles away!! Keep us posted WIzard, Jackie? have you still not moved or have I missed a post?

We were in grimsby this morning george. nothing untoward happened except I am astounded that in all the town of Grimsby, apart from greggs, whose bread surely holds them open to charges of deception, There was not one bread shop.

People who live in Nk are meant to have an emergency phone number so they can ring to check if any accident affects us..........But we havent got it!!!

Les is now thinking of building a 'clean' room where we can all go if there is a bio hazard, sealed windows, oxygen etc. Good idea but next he will be building a panic room lol

No statement has been issued at the moment LOR is still unsure if the 24 yr old chap was on site there at the explosion :farmer:
